Frittata Nests
Spring is the perfect time to host brunch, and this dish is the perfect thing to serve!
Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper
- 2 small zucchini
- 2 tablespoons EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3 leeks, thinly sliced and washed
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Yields: Serves 4 to 6 as a snack
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, parsley, Parmigiano-Reggiano, cream and some salt and pepper. Set aside.
Trim zucchini ends and grate each one lengthwise over a box grater to take the flesh off without pulling out any of the seeds. Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Sauté the leeks and zucchini until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Baste the inside of each cup of a six-cup muffin pan with some melted butter. Divide the leek mixture between the six cups. Push the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of each cup to form a “nest”. Divide the egg mixture between the six cups, pouring it directly into each next. Bake until the eggs are set and puffed, 8 to 10 minutes.
Let set a minute before removing. Serve warm.
